News from Oceania Cruises!

Oceania has created an exclusive and innovative Kosher program with a great focus on taste.  They have partnered with "Gourmet Kosher" and "Anny's Bread Factory" to provide an exclusive Kosher dining experience which includes the following dishes below:
  • 14 gourmet Breakfast items
  • 9 gourmet appetizers
  • 5 gourmet soups
  • 17 gourmet Entrees:  5 fish, 5 Chicken, 5 Beef, 2 Veal
  • 9 gourmet side dishes
  • 17 gourmet desserts
All breakfasts, appetizers, soups and entree items are served on real Chinaware and include real silverware and condiments.  Desserts are presented in a plastic container with a lid. 

Oceania is excited to take the culinary experience onboard to an all new level by providing custom made gourmet kosher dishes with a nice presentation (real silverware, china).

Because of the way food is stored and because it is possible that a utensil used for cooking/heating kosher food could come in contact with non-kosher food, it should be noted that the gourmet kosher meals and frozen meat options are kosher, while the onboard preparation and galley environment its not.

Guests will be required to pre-order their selections 90 days prior to sailing.  Guests who book a cruise with less than 90 days until sailing; would be allowed to pre-order at 70 days prior.  All Kosher items will need to be pre-ordered.


Always available onboard:  the frozen raw Kosher proteins which  include Veal Rack, Lamb Rack, Rib Eye Steak, Turkey Breast and Chicken will always be available onboard.  These items do not require pre-ordering.
